One of the ways they deal with long lines is to extend the rides into the line-ups. I've ridden several Disney rides with long line-ups without even really realizing that I was even waiting. Most common is the line-up that goes through a pre-show. It could be several interactive activities to keep you busy, or sometimes the line-up is the place where you get a pre-show that gives the ride more narrative.
The other way that Disney world deals with long line-ups is something called a Fast Pass. At the entrance to some of the most popular rides there's a time telling you how long the wait time for that ride will be. There is also a fast pass sign with an hour block shown. If the wait time is too much for you, then you can choose to use the Fast Pass instead. You just use your park entrance ticket to collect a Fast Pass ticket from a machine and you can visit other attractions in the park till your fast pass time comes up. When your time comes up you can fast-track to the front of the line. You can only have one Fast Pass at a time, but with a little planning it can really work in your favour.
While the fact that lines at Disney are entertaining, and using Fast Passes can get you to the front of the line faster, the biggest advantage you have is that Disney works very hard at getting as many people as possible on each ride. They spend a great deal of time to make sure that as many people as possible can ride each ride, without ruining the experience. There is a great deal of thought put into how many cars can run at once, and how quickly you can board and unload people.
It can be very busy as Disney World, but rest assured they’re doing everything in their power to get you on as many attractions as possible.
